In 1930 he returned to Ingolstadt as a freelance painter. At this time he began studying philosophical and geometrical studies. In 1945 he had his first exhibition after the war in the “Baracke Malura ” in Munich. As a result, he worked on technical inventions, including a patent for a polygonal construction device. In Ditfordt he designed a church interior together with Josef Elfinger / Butler. In 1954 he stayed with the conductor Hans Löwlein in Berlin and painted there. Between 1958 and 1970 he performed several mural assignments for public buildings. He intensified his color geometric studies in the 1960s. From 1955 to 1982 he was a lecturer in drawing.
